It feels weird not buying that much this time since I already picked up most of it back in the Summer. Picked up PoP 2008 since I had my eye on that for a while, though.
Interested to see if the tree badge lights up after getting the rest of the steps done.

Hitman is on Amazon for $20. Doubt it'll get any lower for awhile

It's kinda weird that you can change the resolution of Intrusion 2 while in full screen yet there is no way to change the resolution of it while in Windowed Mode. It's kind of hard on the eyes in fullscreen 1080p so I've been playing it in windowed mode despite it being stuck in 800 X 600 I believe which is pretty small.
Also, I wish the flash sales changed a little more frequently.

Absolutely not. People (like me) have to go to work and would miss out on deals. So nope.

Should be caught up on Critter Crunch 2nd copy codes. If I missed you please shoot me another PM.
If you bought Critter Crunch during the Winter Sale, shoot me a PM and I'll pass you a code for a second copy. do it. do it now.

That's what the app is for lol. I check it while I'm at work all the time
Is it on sale? I'll give it a shot since I'm looking for something to play tonight but don't get paid until midnight lol
That's what the mobile app is for.
Im in the stone age and still using my semi dumb phone.

Let's make flash sales live for 30 minutes but revolving. I want to test how many people can Steam lose at one sale.
Fuck that, randomly assign flash sales by ip so no one has the same deals
Just picked up Intrusion 2 and the Arkham City Harley Quinn DLC for starters (that counts as a daily deal, right?).
Now I'm waiting on:
- Fairy Bloom Freesia
- Ether Vapor Remaster
- Cherry Tree High Comedy Club (these three are currently at 50% off on normal deals, so here's hoping for 75% off for Flashes or Dailies)
- Devil May Cry 4 (currently at 66% off, holding for 75-80%)
- Ys Origin (I already have the Groupon.jp version with fan translation, but it'd be nice to have on Steam - currently at 50% off, holding for at least 66%)
- Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition (...maybe, already have it on PS3)
- eh...Rayman Origins (@35% now, that's gotta be a flash deal soon, right?)
Thinking About getting
Legend of Grimlock and Walking Dead if the go on flash/daily.
Watching some game play videos for Grimlock make the combat seem hard to get the hang of, are there any better games in this same style. What I would really like is more focus on combat then it seems to have and more loot then the game seems to offer.

The vast majority of those games are far too new to see a 75 percent discount.
Better luck next year.
Damn. The struggle.
But I know how you feel now lol. You could make a list of games that you want to buy once they hit a certain price point and have someone buy them for you if you're desperate.
Or it'd make your life easier if you bought a smartphone lol, it's a great investment.
Today would be a terrible day for that to drop as the 60fps fix is broken.
edit-
To elaborate, game updated this morning and it broke the 60fps fix and maybe the AA stuff too, Durante is looking at it.
Thanks. I think i will be picking it up while it is on sale.

So are we only getting one set of Flash deals? And honestly, can we take the moniker "Flash" off of these? They're good for like 16 hours or something. That's not a flash!

Borderlands 2 is a Daily Deal today. No way it goes cheaper than it already is.
What about ORC? It isn't like the game was popular.

Would buy orc @ $5 or below
Depends on how you measure popularity. Sales? Popular as fuck. Reception? About as welcome as someone taking a dump on your doorstep.
Waiting for the current phone to die or when my job finally demands it. Whichever comes first.
btw everyone should buy Alpha Prime. Its $1.25 and its a decent romp. You cannot go wrong.
It's ok. I'm a guy who likes Puzzle Quest and Faerie Solitaire and stuff, and it's sort of like them. More on the casual side, like Faerie Solitaire. It didn't hold my interest for more than a few hours, FWIW.
If you like casual matching games, it's worth taking a flyer on to see if it grabs you.
So would I. My question was more about he thinks the likelihood of ORC hitting $10 or below is, rather what he would pay for it.
What's the lowest price AA GOTY has ever been? Less than 5 bucks? 'Cause if so, after AC GOTY has been $4 on GMG this doesn't seem that improbable.

Is the trading/selling of game codes bannable or something? I think I might have just stepped on a land mine lol.
I'd be willing to give my code to someone for $25 worth of games(of my choosing, of course). I got two codes for games that aren't THAT interesting to me right now(Borderlands 2 & Assassin's creed III) since I got a GTX 670 during Black Friday sales.
Flash sales are pretty close to what you might see if the game appears on the front page. I say go for it in that scenario.
Thank you!

why does GFWL issues only affect certain people why is it so random like that ? im posting this cos i just brought arkham city game of the year and theirs alot of threads on steam cos its steamworks and GFWL that it conflicts during install an stuff. mine went through perfectly fine lol.
i feel quite bad for some people cos ive hardly had a problem with GFWL the only game i did was dead rising off the record ( had to log into xbox website and keep it open or i couldnt log in during game lol )

What happened to the huge Paradox Collection? They had that pack a year or two ago with nearly every paradox game in it for $80. Now it's no where to be seen. Guess I should have got it then.
All the collection packs suck this year. And Valve is still charging $50 for their pack? Sheesh.

Well they added a few things. CS:GO and holiday packs for TF2/Dota 2. Decent value for trading purposes at least.
This list is awesome.
!!For $1.25? Sure, seems like a decent game from the screenshots. Thanks!

Is it worth doing a fast run through Dark Striders before starting Dark Striders 2?
I'm not getting it, but I have a friend who's doggedly waiting for it for DayZ, and he's barely been able to restrain himself as I tell him to "wait for the Daily Deal." So, um, there is a Daily Deal coming, right?

Arkham City was the only GFWL game that caused me issues but it wasn't during install. It ate my save but luckily it happened just after I finished the game and went back to complete some of the side stuff, so I at least got to finish the main story.
It helps with the story but you don't need to play through Dark Stalkers 1 before Dark Stalkers 2.

Maybe? But the standalone version of DayZ is coming soon, so he might as well just wait for that instead of buying two games.

Grabbed Dead Island GOTY from Amazon for $5.99. Activates on Steam.

How do I access coming soon games?
I'm still disappointed in myself for buying Arma II + OA only to bork up the DayZ modding process a couple times then give up. At this point I might as well wait for the standalone version, but it sounds like something right up my alley.
